You sure about that??? What have precise atomic clocks revealed when positioned within the deepest mine shafts of our own planet. Do they run faster or slower than atomic clocks positioned at sea-level, where the effects of gravity should in theory be greatest. Can someone refresh my memory about the precise time measurements conducted with atomic clocks positioned at different elevations on the surface of Earth. Weren't the clocks positioned at the highest elevations (mountains), where the effects of gravity were slightly less, experiencing the passage of time more quickly that their siblings positioned closer to sea-level, where gravity is slightly stronger? ...or have I got it switched around.
